Just noticed something, the report says “All standard belts used the letter A for the plant code and deluxe Camaro belts used the letters C, E, & F.” I have standard belts in my 68 and they all have the letter E!?!?

Side note too, my retractors are dated 4 weeks earlier than all the rest of the belts; 46 to 50 for all others (except 1 missing tag). Not sure if that means anything, just thought I’d share the info. 99.9% sure the belts are original to the car as it had the original carpet in the car when I got her.

Chris,Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Turns out a few 68 LA cars did have a different plant code on the standard belts. Not many and I missed it. Some cars only have one position that has the other plant code. And it's throughout the year.

Kurt, I just noticed something. The deluxe buckle pic is not correct. You have pictured a 67-9 and a 70+ buckle. But it should be a 67-8 and a 69+. All the 69 deluxe belts I have and seen are the changed version.

I emailed you about this. (I sent you a pic of three dlx buckles.)That picture on the left is actually a buckle from a 69. I'm not convinced it wasn't a mid-year change. Something I'm looking into.

Chris,Thanks! And the pics don't have to be *that* high of a resolution.

Kurt, yes you did. I did not make the connection. The latest 68 version buckle I have seen is 35C68 or there abouts. everything from the 40sC68 week had the changed buckle from what I recall passing through my hands. But nothing is certain

Kurt, do you have any idea what the the letters and numbers stamped into the buckles and clips stand for? For example, the right front lap belt retractor clip has "981" stamped on it while the left side retractor clip has "H348" stamped on it.
